Is SerpApi down?
SerpApi's official status page is reporting degraded performance ("Partially Degraded Service"). Our independent checks can still reach SerpApi, so some surfaces may still work.
SerpApidown detector & server status
Is SerpApi down or not working right now? This live SerpApi down detector combines SerpApi's official status feed, our own independent checks, and first-party user reports — and shows whether it's the SerpApiAPI, the app, or a specific capability that's affected, plus the upstream AI provider it depends on. Use it to tell whether SerpApiis having an outage today, and whether it's down for everyone or just you.
The measured SerpApi record
Across 8,639 independent checks over the last 30 days, SerpApi was fully operational 0.0% of the time; 8638 found it degraded. The most recent recorded SerpApi incident was a minor on 2026-10-01 (ongoing): "[Google Search API] Increased Error Rates". Typical response time from our US East (Virginia) probe this week is 121ms (p90 272ms, over 2,016 checks).
Crowd signal — your reports, not our automated checks.

27,220reachable checks. The line plots the median of each interval, so one timeout can't spike it, and we lead with the median rather than an average, which a single slow response would skew. Failed checks are excluded: a timeout is not a response time.
Responding normally (~121 ms typical).
Uptime & history
Tracking since Jun 22, 2026% of our checks that found SerpApi fully operational — a degraded check counts against it, because a slow or partly-broken service is not a working one. Down and degraded time are counted at our 5-minute check resolution, so both are approximate. Longer windows fill in as data accrues — we never show uptime we haven't measured.

What this page can and can't tell you
- How we decide. We combine SerpApi's official status feed, our own independent check from US East (Virginia), and first-party reports from readers. The confidence badge shows how many of those signals agree.
- On root cause. We have no visibility inside SerpApi's systems. We report what the signals show rather than guessing at an internal cause.
- Outages are rarely all-or-nothing. Some are regional. Some hit one surface while the rest works, so the SerpApi API can fail while the app is fine. The capability panel breaks it down.
- Green doesn't mean everyone. If our check reaches SerpApibut you can't, the problem is more likely local: your network, a VPN, browser extensions, or cache.
Frequently asked
Is SerpApi down right now?+
Right now, SerpApi appears to be degraded — some users may see errors or slowness. SerpApi's official status page is reporting degraded performance ("Partially Degraded Service"). Our independent checks can still reach SerpApi, so some surfaces may still work.
Is there a SerpApi down detector?+
Yes — this page is a live SerpApi down detector. It combines SerpApi's official status feed, our own independent reachability check, first-party user reports, and the AI dependency graph, then shows a confidence level so you can tell a real outage from a local glitch. SerpApi is currently degraded. We only show signals we can actually verify — never invented report totals.
Is there a SerpApi outage today?+
SerpApi appears to be degraded right now. SerpApi's official status page is reporting degraded performance ("Partially Degraded Service"). Our independent checks can still reach SerpApi, so some surfaces may still work. See the live signals above and the incident history below for the timeline.
What is SerpApi's server status and API status right now?+
SerpApi is currently degraded. Server status and API status aren't always the same — the SerpApi API can fail while the web app works, or vice-versa. The capability panel on this page breaks status down by surface (API, app, and any image/voice features) so you can see exactly which part is affected.
Is the SerpApi API down? (SerpApi API status)+
Check the API row in the capability panel above — SerpApi is currently degraded overall, but the API can carry its own status. For developers, "SerpApi API status" problems usually surface here first, because we read SerpApi's own status feed and watch the API surface directly.
Why is SerpApi slow or not working?+
Common causes are an upstream provider incident, API rate limits during peak demand, a regional CDN issue, or maintenance. SerpApi is currently degraded. We show the official status, our independent check, and a confidence level so you can see which signals point to a real problem.
Is SerpApi down for everyone or just me?+
We check SerpApi from our own servers, independent of your device or network, and combine that with SerpApi's official feed and user reports. If our independent check reaches SerpApi but you can't, the problem is most likely local — try a different network, disable a VPN/extensions, or clear your cache. If our check and the official status both show problems, SerpApi is down for everyone.
How can I tell if it's SerpApi or my own connection?+
AIDownCheck runs an independent reachability check from our own servers, separate from SerpApi's official status page. If our check passes but you still can't connect, the problem is more likely local — try a different network, clear your cookies, disable VPN/extensions, or use a different browser. If our check is failing too, it's more likely SerpApi's side.
What can I use while SerpApi is down?+
Good alternatives include Tavily, Exa. We track their live status too, so you can switch to one that's currently operational.
Where is SerpApi's official status page?+
SerpApi's official status page is at https://status.serpapi.com. AIDownCheck reads it automatically and combines it with our own checks — so you get the answer without juggling tabs.
